Wot? Governments control the supply of silver? Are you sure?
Here's my evidence the government made crypto: who is Satoshi Nakamoto? Don't know? He's a spook. It's easy!
Metals have the exact mix of perfect qualities. Shells aren't rare enough, and can be destroyed, and can't be divided easily. Beads aren't rare enough either and are easily "printed". Same with counting sticks.
I laughed when you went on to try and tell me that bitcoin isn't controlled by the government, even though they made it and they make the computers, OSes, and internet needed to run it.
So, your "evidence" is that because the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto is unknown to the public, therefore the only explanation is that "the" government (which government and/or officials?) is responsible? Fren, that's not evidence, but baseless speculation. I've reviewed your posting history. You're clearly capable of doing good research and analysis. Do better.
"Controlled" is not the same as "created." Your initial claim was that "the government" CREATED crypto. Could crypto not have been independently created, as is claimed and without any evidence to the contrary, is the case, and then been hijacked by corporate/government interests? That is [some] crypto became controlled by said interests? I would actually concur with that analysis. Market movements over the past year seem to indicate there have certainly been "whales" controlling the market by manufacturing massive rips and dumps. Same pattern with stocks. Question is WHO are the whales? Institutions, special interest groups, and sure "government" entities (or rather, just more corrupt individuals and groups controlling government funds). You assume that said interests had full control, and that control could not be returned or is already being returned. The movements of the past year seem to indicate otherwise. Retailers are exposing the corruption and taking back control, mainly thanks to the rise of "meme" stocks and crypto.
Crypto (or more accurately, the decentralized blockchain technology behind digital currency) is actually the catalyst for fixing the "money" problem. In time, you'll realize that this is the truth. It's ok. Not everyone puts the puzzle together at the same pace. Your gold and silver will likely always continue to remain physical stores of value... you don't have to worry. But dooming on crypto and missing out on getting ahead in the game, is unwise.
